Oracle File Extensions

Name: Anonymous 2007-09-07 16:03 ID:NOiyzLua

Does anybody here know the file extensions for an oracle database and it's log file?

IE:
Access = *.mdb
SQL Server = *.mdf | *.ldf
Oracle = *.??? | *.???

You're my last hope... I've asked this on three programming forums, googled it for about 15 minutes, asked everybody in my office, and even called two ex-employees. Nobody can answer this amazingly simple question. Truly 4chan has the answer right?

I wouldn't touch Oracle with a 10 metres pole. The farther it's from me the better; it's full of mess and ENTERPRISE.

Some results just say .db

Probably, but it's not up to me. I'm developing software for a customer and they want the ability to choose what database they use. The three options are Access, SQL Server, and Oracle.

The problem is, I can't code the open file dialog box without knowing the proper Oracle file extensions and nobody will tell me THE FUCKING ANSWER.

Use a DB abstraction layer. If you're still having problems, you're doing it wrong.

Name: Anonymous 2007-09-07 16:12 ID:NOiyzLua

What?

Dude, I need to code the filter for an open file dialog box. I can't use a DB abstraction layer in a string to pass to a dialog box control.

I need EXTENSIONS. For the line of code that reads:

"All Database Files|*.mdb;*.mdf;*.ora|Microsoft Access (*.mdb)|*.mdb|Microsoft SQL Server (*.mdf)|*.mdf|Oracle Database (*.???)|*.???|All Files|*.*"

Just answer the question... please for the love of fucking christ. I've waisted a whole days work on this... just somebody tell me what the fucking extensions are.

Your job sucks. Oracle has used 10^6 different extensions, most all of which get matched with *.d??.

You can call it whatever you want in Oracle, but most people use DBF, DAT or no extension (in approximate order of popularity)

Being a programmer sucks? Then what are you doing on the programming forum?

10^6 file extensions for one thing? All I need is the extension to the main database file and it's log file so my user can say, "This is the database I want to use today" and select it in the standard Microsoft Open Dialog control.

I honestly don't believe that one type of file can have 1,000,000 diffrent extensions.

``Didn't find it''? Get a fucking clue.

>>11
Really? Is that why I can't find the answer?

So, in oracle, if you where to go to File->Open, how does the open file dialog box filter out all the files (like .jpg or .doc) that can't be opened inside of oracle? Surely Oracle uses a filter on it's open file dialogs...

any idea what that would be?

Holy shit, just answer the fucking question. I don't have oracle, I can't look it up myslef. Google tells me nothing. I found File Extension lists but they're sorted by extension which doesn't help when you don't know what the extension is.

This is all google had to tell me and it means shit to me.
File extensions include:
.pks – Package specification.
.pkb – Package body.
.sql – Everything else.Hope this helps. Regards Tim...


I don't care if you think I'm an idiot. I don't care if you like Oracle... I'm a desperate man asking for help and if you know the anser it's going to take you 5 seconds to post it so stop being a shit and post it.

Or not, what the fuck ever... faggots. Anybody that knew the answer would have just posted it witout making a big deal. You're all as stupid as I am and you're just trying to play it off because you're pissed off you're wanna be programmers jacking your dicks to furry porn. Go back to trying to flex your virtual cocks over what language is better... because that's what real programmers care about. ::rollseyes::

I can program fine. In fact I've made an entire program that is waiting to be shipped off to paying costumers... that is, if I could figure out the correct file extension to filer their "Select Database" dialog box.

not knowing an extension has nothing to do with my skills in a programming language. Last time I checked, knowing the file extensions to Oracle wasn't a requirment to write code in .Net. So go back to your furry porn and leave the programming to people that actually know what they're doing. If you where a real programer, you would have just answered the question and went on with your work... the fact that you have nothing better to do then sit around here and be an ass for no reason proves your lack of skill and creativity. Piss off and good luck with your future career at McDonalds faggot.

Stop being a dick. Look up "Oracle Flexible Architecture" and see what Oracle says about its automatic naming scheme (hint: dbf for the main datafile) - or look up the "CREATE DATABASE" command and realise that you can call it anything you want if you desire.

I wouldn't be a dick if people would have just responded with everything you just told me to begin with.

I only became a dick after I got the wonderful answer of
"I know what it is"

The answer I wanted was *.dbf. If the customer named it anything else, he'll know to select the "All Files" from the drop down box in the Open File Dialog and browse to it manually. I just needed the default standard extension. It really wasn't a hard question.

If half of these shit heads actually did any codeing they'd be use to writing filters for dialogs as it's every day standard practice bullshit work. Unfortunitly, this time, I didn't know what to put after "*.". Instead of "*.dbf" I got "You're a shitty programmer lolz".

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
